Greg Ashe

Director QED Group

In 2009, Greg Ashe, QED Risk Services Director, saw a need to assist brokers in meeting all of their NCCP General Conduct Obligations and started the business to do this. The QED Group of companies provide compliance solutions for every sector in the Mortgage Broking industry.

Before QED Risk Services, Greg had spent the previous 10 years working in risk management, primarily in financial services in Australia and the UK, and was Head of Compliance for Citigroup's Retail Group in the UK.
